Can anybody help to compare Commonwealth vs Swiss Cottage? (Eg academic, teacher, facilities, affiliated JC etc. Anything...)


I'm a newbie here, and don't know much about these two schools, so, really need your sharing.

TIA!

I have same request, please help.

Very interesting discussion…


But Happiemum and other KSP,
I may missed some posts, but can you please clarify:

1). Is happiemum’s calculation for ALL Pupils taken PSLE, or only for the top ones (tscore >250)?

2). Also, how to consider possibility that those top pupils just apply for lower tier schools due to the concern of relative low score "number" compared with last year? Will this affect the corresponding lower tier schools’ COP to increase accordingly?

Any analysis and insight to share?

Thanks!

Dear KSP,

The school booklet says that "merit before choice".
Does this mean that even if I put school A as the last choice ie choice (6), and others put this school as the first choice ie choice (1), as long as my DC’s t-score is higher, the school will still select my DC first?

Can anybody please confirm this?

TIA!!

Good analysis, xiaofanz.
But how to understand and relate this to school selection?

Dear KSP,

Can anybody help here?

We stay in the west, my DS got 237, wondering whether we can consider below schools as option 1 to 3:

1. Fairfield (last year cop 239)
2. Commonwealth (238)
3. Swiss cottage (237)

What are the chances for him to get in these schools?
And how do you compare and rank these schools?

Many thanks!!!
